Where the mighty Saskatchàwan

And the Kaministaquoiah

Drain the happy hunting valleys;

Where the Mas-ka-gaws and Saulteaux,

Surcees, Pay-gans, Bloods, and Blackfeet,

Ottoes, Dog-ribs, Crees, and Beavers,

Hunt the Wapiti and Musquash;

From the lakes of Manitoba,

Winnipeg and Winnipags,

Pickcògasi and Pàquash,
